*NEGOTIATION TABLE*
CANELO , earned this in the ring:
Top 10 P4P , RING Lineal WBC Middleweight Championship Belt , A-$ide Status , also a great ambassador for the sport , the New PPV King and Face of Boxing.
Meanwhile GGG brings this to the table:
Unproven challenger
Trash Resume
Reputation for avoiding tough fights
*3rd Worst PPV Event Ever
(*recent PPV flopped again)
(*recent venue = not sold out)
& GGG being who he is as far as accolades & drawing power wanted CANELO to give up this:
-Weight
-Money
-Training Camp; tied-up schedule due to promotional lawsuit court case: $8.5M USD loss.
Boxing don't work that way, CANELO was forced to vacate, anyone who would want a guy in CANELO'S position to go ahead and give up all those advantages should be ashamed to call yourself a real boxing fan & need to hold your hero GGG accountable for his actions.
CANELO wanted to negotiate , agree upon something that would be fair to both fighter's to set up the fight asap. CANELO-"Sure anyday of the week at 155 or a weight we both feel comfortable at , we have ourselves a fight!"
But GGG did not even want to negotiate at all. GGG- "160 or no fight , I won't move an ounce for CANELO"
Now GGG contract in hand, will not even agree to face CANELO at 160 in his NEXT fight for a boatload of CA$H and a great very generous deal in a winner takes all Super Fight. Why?(LMAO)
GGG just uses the CANELO Chip to manuever his way out of big fights , tough competitive fights where he could possibly get beat from 154-168 pounds all while ducking CANELO.
